Is somewhat of a legend around campfires from Zambia to Zululand and from Walvis Bay to Vilanculos. Singer, songwriter, entertainer, storyteller, author and bush pilot.
His new “Troopiesongs DVD1”. The mix is superb of newsreel footage and music and the visual and the audio are blended into a stunning memory of times past.
John explains about each song and it adds so much to the overall ambiance.
There is also a 30min interview with about his childhood musical ability to how he got to where he is today. He explains the inspiration for some of his songs. His instruments are discussed, see it isn’t just us folks that name our plants and talk to them … musicians do that to their instruments!
His humour and love of family, africa, life and music run like a song underlying the whole experience.
I recommend the DVD as a wonderful treat for yourself or put it on the list of what you want for an Xmas or birthday or any other present come to that.
